Thanks for heads-up, I confirm this. Although, its funny they captioned it as "Linux compatible" instead of simply "Linux". Well at least its top on the list xD
But the most problematic device from them, acutely needing Linux support is Universal Receiver (Universal Dongle). That 2.4 nano-receiver, that currently requires windows just to assign a wireless input device to it... :/

Some of there mice actually has a Tux on the side of the box next to the Windows and Mac logo. I also found that the for about 40 mice (color variation) and about 5 keyboards, list them as Linux compatible to there sales channels.

With mice I long ago just switched to bluetooth mice. A bit more expensive but never a problem with linux and it co-exists better with WiFi. And in my experience the battery life is much longer too.. Another bonus is that most laptops already have a bluetooth adapter so you don't lose a USB socket.

Except that most if not all desktops don't come with support for bluetooth.

I'd love to have all bluetooth mice however there is a real shortage of quality bluetooth mice out there. Most of them are form factored as small portable mice for laptops. Another annoying thing that I found is that only a few can handle multi-os switching without having to re-pairing all the time (my logitech v470 handles multios's just fine but my MS Sculpt Touch requires re-pairing every time I flip OS's).
